I like to think of New Member Monday as the getting-to-know-you feature here at CBC Radio 3. Each week i find a band just added to our playlist rotation and give them a call. Regular listeners are used to hearing new music and making a few checks to find who exactly is behind this song, but I'm making it easy for you today.
A few weeks ago we started playing "Give the Devil Back His Heart", a song from The Barr Brothers that instantly got me. That the had an interesting back story that begins in the United States, a harp on the stage and have been called one of the best live bands in their adopted homeland of Montreal just sweetened the deal.
And one thing is for sure, for every new Canadian, there is always an interesting "how did you get here?" tale just waiting. And Brad Barr does not disappoint.
